The decision process is a selection between modelled actions and between modelled futures—it isn’t making a selection between actual physical futures, one real and others not.
e.g. If I decide to step forward, but just before I do so, someone pulls me back; my choice was equally real even if I failed to actualize it against my will; my decision process concluded.
Indeed if I’m insane and make a choice to flap my wings and fly, my decision process is still real even if the action I decide to take is physically impossible and my model of my available options is horribly flawed.
So, the “other options”, same as the option you pick, they’re all representations encoded in your brain, and physically real at that level.
Please post this question in direct response to the comment where I called the indterministic model incoherent, in order to have a cleaner structure in the discussion.

Thats a description of the deterministic model. Where;s the argument that the indterministic model is incoherent?
